The college basketball coaches have been more difficult to convince. After returning to the AP Poll a few weeks ago for the first time in nearly two years, the IU men’s basketball program has now also returned to the USA Today Coaches Poll. Indiana is just testing the waters this week, making its debut at No. 25. With no games until January, IU should be able to hang on to their newfound tenuous spot in the poll for now. Staying there once Big Ten play resumes will be more challenging. Indiana is one of seven Big Ten teams ranked in…
You’re excused if you didn’t see this coming. After spending most of the 2017-18 season in the NBA G-League with the Lakers affiliate, Bryant was dealt to Washington in the offseason. Due to an injury to Dwight Howard, Bryant has been thrust into the starting lineup over the last month. The former IU big man put up some historic individual numbers on Saturday night in leading Washington to a 149-146 triple-overtime home win over Phoenix. Perhaps Bryant has been watching former teammate Juwan Morgan, who has hit 28 of his last 34 shots and hasn’t missed a two-pointer since the…
It may be hard to believe, but another year is nearly in the books — and it has been a memorable one for Indiana University Athletics. From programs on the rise to competition at the highest level of their respective sports, several IU teams had memorable moments in 2018. Today we take a look back at the top stories from the year. BANNER UP IN BLOOMINGTON The regular season didn’t end the way senior legends Tyra Buss and Amanda Cahill had imagined. After a slow start to the 2017-18 campaign, the Hoosiers couldn’t recover quickly enough to sneak into the…
On a night when history was made and career highs were reached, Indiana put together one of its more complete efforts of the season. Now winners of six in a row, the No. 22 Hoosiers closed out nonconference play with a 94-64 win over Jacksonville to improve to 11-2 on the season. IU is just five wins away from their 2017-18 win total with 18 more regular season games left to play. The win sealed the program’s first undefeated month (6-0) since going 7-0 in November of 2012. Indiana will now get an extended break, with no games until a…
It was a mark that preceded Bob Knight at Indiana. It also preceded Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Steve Downing’s 1971 triple double at Indiana had stood the test of time. On February 23, 1971, Downing scored 28 points, and grabbed 17 rebounds and added 10 blocks to record the first ever triple double in IU basketball history. The Hoosiers went on to beat Michigan on that day 88-79 at the “New Fieldhouse” (now known as the Gladstein Fieldhouse). Nearly 48 years later, Juwan Morgan became the second Hoosier to record the statistical feat with a symmetrical 10 points, 10 rebounds,…

The Hoosiers finished off the non-conference portion of their schedule in style. After several slow starts in a row, IU cruised to victory over Jacksonville. Indiana (11-2) did fall behind briefly again in this one, trailing 14-9 with 14:19 left in the first half. But the Hoosiers outscored the Dolphins 35-15 the rest of the way in the opening half and the game was never really in doubt. IU will now have a long holiday break. The Hoosiers return to action on January 3, as Big Ten play resumes at home against Illinois. Also see: Archie Miller, Juwan Morgan and…

It has been an interesting week for Indiana freshman point guard Rob Phinisee. The Lafayette native has gone from the ultimate high of a game-winning buzzer beater against Butler last Saturday, to a concussion Wednesday night against Central Arkansas. Phinisee left Wednesday’s game in the middle of the first half after taking a knee to the head. The McCutcheon High School product took a minute to get back to his feet and remained in the game briefly. Phinisee exited the contest at the 13:09 mark, but did not return and was not on the bench for the second half. Indiana head…
